Farewell to our U6th/ Leaders in waiting

So it’s a fond farewell to our U6th who are pictured above at the U6th

dinner which took place in the Martyrs pavilion. Each of the U6th invited a girl

to join them at the meal and there were a few dignitaries in the shape of Mr

Roche, Mrs Norton and Mr Tester. Our thanks to Mr Roche for organising the

dinner in the hallowed cricket pavilion, and to Mr Tester for his witty after din-

ner speech.

As we look to the new, next year’s senior house prefect team has been announced. We are very proud to have two school prefects, a peer listener and the head sacristan (Will Phillips) in our ranks

Prefects Training

The L6th undertook their house prefect training at Winspit

quarry in Swanage, Dorset. Following a long hike into this beautiful

location, the boys (led by Mr Roche and Mr Turner) made a fire,

cooked their supper on the fire and played lots of quarry cricket. The

weather was mild so they slept out under the stars. The next morning

was spent cooking their breakfast on the fire, rock climbing and doing

team building exercises. The experience was one that won’t be forgot-

ten and brought the boys that little bit closer together.

Dinners, barbeques and Marshmallows

It has certainly been a term of

gastronomic excess. There have been a

variety of dinners and occasions, such as

the annual house dinner which allowed

the house to say goodbye properly to its

leavers, also the U6th leaver’s dinner.

The house’s BBQ has been in constant

use with the L6th seen below trying to

cook the perfect steak, and there has

been plenty of marshmallows roasted on

the fire in Mr Roche’s garden (below).

The 4th form were particularly excited by

the arrival of the new Segar’s waffle

machine – so there will be plenty of

waffle nights to come.

Segar’s News

Segar’s Sporting News Segar’s has had a great summer season of sport. Team success came in the Junior Rowing when we came second overall, and in the Junior House cricket when we also came second. Notable individual successes came for Sam Hamilton Peach (colours for Rowing), Sam Kennedy and Aditya Edekar (colours for 1st XI Cricket), and Freddie Williams (colours for Athletics). Colours are awarded for outstanding leadership and performance in their respective sports – Well done boys. Furthermore James Colson Lake (4th form) was away last week at the National Schools Sailing Championships in Itchenor; a two day event on the south coast. He sailed in the RS Feva XL (a 2 man dinghy) class and came 13th over-all 13th out of the 80 boats that were competing – impressive. Freddie Boyce and Bastian Tholstrup set sail for down under next week on the Rugby tour to Australia and we wish them the best of luck.

Segar’s bids farewell

Segar’s bids a fond farewell to Mrs Norton, who has been a sixth form tutor in Segar's and a wise guide for her tutees. The house formed a tunnel outside Segar's on her last duty night and clapped her in. Mr Entwistle

has been this year’s resident grad, and a fine one at that—he shall be sorely missed, and Aditya Edekar joined us this term on an exchange from New Zea-land’s Saint Kentigern College and bolstered the 1st XI. All of them have had a hugely positive

effect on our community and shall not be forgot-ten.
